Veeam - Direct SAN Access

I would like to mention this Veeam Article that was useful in the past to configure Direct SAN Access feature to enhance Backup Veeam Speed and workload.

Direct SAN Access

The Direct SAN access transport mode is recommended for VMs whose disks are located on shared VMFS SAN LUNs that are connected to ESX(i) hosts over FC, FCoE, iSCSI, and on shared SAS storage.

In the Direct SAN access transport mode, Veeam Backup & Replication leverages VMware VADP to transport VM data directly from and to FC and iSCSI storage over the SAN. VM data travels over the SAN, bypassing ESX(i) hosts and the LAN. The Direct SAN access transport method provides the fastest data transfer speed and produces no load on the production network.

The Direct SAN access transport mode can be used for all operations where the backup proxy is engaged:

Backup
Replication
VM copy
Quick migration
Full VM restore
VM disk restore
Replica failback

Tool - DNS Query Sniffer di Nirsoft

Today I would like to mention this NirSoft Tool (DNS Query Sniffer) that shows DNS queries sent from your PC/Server.

For each query several information are available (Host Name, Port Number, Query ID, Request Type (A, AAAA, NS, MX, and so on), Request Time, Response Time, Duration, Response Code, Number of records, and the content of the returned DNS records).

It is possible to export DNS queries in csv format.

These information are useful for troubleshooting purpose too.

REMARK: On some systems, capturing packets with the 'Raw Sockets' method may not work properly, and thus you'll need to install the WinPcap capture driver or the Network Monitor driver.
Even if the 'Raw Sockets' method works properly on your system, it's recommended to install the WinPcap capture driver or Microsoft Network Monitor driver (version 3.4 or later) in order to get more accurate date/time information ('Request Time', 'Response Time', and 'Duration' columns).

You can use this web link to test if a specific domain has already configured a specific CAA Record:

Hacker - WPA2 password crack

We are all aware about security weakness that Wi-Fi it has, that does not dipend from protocol used.

Infact Wifi it has allways some risks that could never become equal to 0.

Vulnerability found it is related to Wi-fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2). It does not permit to acquire WPA2 password but man in the middle

https://papers.mathyvanhoef.com/ccs2017.pdf

The idea it is that each person that is near to Wi-Fi could implement Key Reinstallation AttaCK (KRACK) and read trassferred data between PCs and router/access point (man in the middle attack with password, email, sensitive date reading...).

this kind of attack is really efficace against Android/Linux that use wpa_supplican during wi-fi connection process (but it could be applied to all O.S./devices as well)

You can take a look to this article that better explain an example on how to get this result.

http://www.html.it/articoli/wpa2-password-crack-attacco-al-wifi/

These results could be reached using these tools:

Kali Linux, la suite per gli attacchi WiFi Aircrack-ng, il software per eliminare la protezione HTTPS denominato SSLstrip e WireShark.

Summarizing attack procedure steps:

Using vulnerability it create a Wifi fake with same SSID but on different channel.
It switch remote device to connect to new fake Wifi and decript all traffick that became in clear mode.

To solve issue you should:

1. Upgrade Router/access point firmware

2. pcs/mobile devices o.s. (more urgently)

It is available this Python Script to understand if your devices is vulnerable:

GitHub.

Windows 10 - Pro Workstation announcement about new release

Microsoft is going to release, during next months, following win 10 version:

https://blogs.windows.com/business/2017/08/10/microsoft-announces-windows-10-pro-workstations/

This announcement due to fact actually Windows 10 has this hardware limitation and often for particular activities on Workstation Microsoft server edition are installed as welle:

2 CPU, 256 cores and up to 2TB. RAM.

Windows 10 pro for Workstation is going to have these features:

ReFS (Resilient file system) support. (new Microsoft file system)
ReFS provides cloud-grade resiliency for data on fault-tolerant storage spaces and manages very large volumes with ease. ReFS is designed to be resilient to data corruption, optimized for handling large data volumes, auto-correcting and more. It protects your data with integrity streams on your mirrored storage spaces. Using its integrity streams, ReFS detects when data becomes corrupt on one of the mirrored drives and uses a healthy copy of your data on the other drive to correct and protect your precious data.
Persistent memory support:
Windows 10 Pro for Workstations provides the most demanding apps and data with the performance they require with non-volatile memory modules (NVDIMM-N) hardware. NVDIMM-N enables you to read and write your files with the fastest speed possible, the speed of the computer’s main memory. Because NVDIMM-N is non-volatile memory, your files will still be there, even when you switch your workstation off.
SMB Direct support and lan card based on Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA)
CPU Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron support till 4 CPU and 6 TB RAM.

Actually Windows 10 versions are going to become 12 (from 10):

Windows 10 Home
Windows 10 Pro
Windows 10 Enterprise
Windows 10 Education
Windows 10 Pro Education
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB
Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise
Windows 10 Mobile
Windows 10 IoT
Windows 10 S
Windows 10 Team
Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

Here it is relative recap:

GPO - Wifi pcs and policy applying problems

Company laptop that connect to domain via WiFi could not apply correctly policies due to WiFi connection unavailability.

There are two alternatives to solve issue customizing properly GPO:

You can do this with Group Policy, using the Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon policy setting.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg486839.aspx

Alternatively adding a delay during policy appling this policy:

Policy Location: Computer Configuration > Policies > Admin Templates > System > Group Policy
Setting Name: Startup policy processing wait time
Registry Key: HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System!GpNetworkStartTimeoutPolicyValue

Tips - Fix network connection issues in Windows 10

Here it is an interesting Microsoft article that well explain several easy workaround useful to reset windows 10 network issues.

you can use this command line syntax executing command prompt with Administrative rights:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset

netsh winsock reset proxy

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10741/windows-10-fix-network-connection-issues

<------------>

Using network reset should be the last step you try. Consider using it if the steps above don’t help to get you connected.

This can help solve connection problems you might have after upgrading from a previous version of Windows to Windows 10, as well as fix problems where you can connect to the Internet but not to shared network drives. It removes any network adapters you have installed and the settings for them. After your PC restarts, any network adapters are reinstalled, and the settings for them are set to the defaults.

Note

To use network reset, your PC must be running Windows 10 Version 1607 or later. To see which version of Windows 10 your device is currently running, select the Start button, then select Settings > System > About.

Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Status > Network reset.
On the Network reset screen, select Reset now > Yes to confirm.
Wait for your PC to restart and see if that fixes the problem.

Notes

After using network reset, you might need to reinstall and set up other networking software you might be using, such as VPN client software or virtual switches from Hyper‑V (if you're using that or other network virtualization software).

Network reset might set each one of your known network connections to a public network mode. In a public network mode, your PC is not discoverable to other PCs and devices on the network, which can help make your PC more secure. However, if your PC is part of a homegroup or used for file or printer sharing, you’ll need to make your PC discoverable again. To do this, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi . On the Wi-Fi screen, select Manage known networks > the network connection you want to change > Properties, and then turn on the switch under Make this PC discoverable.
